It's promising. Honestly, if I found Visio shapes that could do Sankey diagrams where the arrows could bend and stretch while maintaining their specified width, I would happily fork over real money for it. I will give your downloads a try!!! I looked for Sankey-Visio stuff a couple years ago and never found this post. It’s promising.

I don't provide separate stencils, just sample drawings. But it's easy enough to add the shapes to your own stencils. Hi Jerry,

How does one import these into the rest of Visio? I can't get to the template / Sankey stencil when I open a new Visio document. I can only play with the example page (and it won't let me delete the header). I downloaded the Sankey Diagrams Shapes file for Visio. How does one import these into the rest of Visio?

If you want to break it, open up the ShapeSheet and get rid of the "GUARD(...)" around the value in the FillPattern cell. Hi Chewie,

I'm busy on a Bachelor Thesis about in-company material flow. And your visio shapes give me great assistance on my work. But I have a little problem with them. I cannot change the pattern of the arrows. Every time I try to apply for example pattern 02 it switches back to pattern 27. But it works with the processes. Is it a Problem with your shapes or with my software? Thank you in advance for your help Hello Chris,

There's no automatic connection or glue. If you create a Master in the Stencil by dragging a whole bunch of shapes to the green window on the left, Visio groups them all together. Ie: you can't have a master that drops as separate shapes. You can drop your shape, then ungroup it (Ctrl + Shift + U) Hi Leo,

If I use the stencils, they are unlinked at first. I saved one of your sample sankeys as a shape but when I use it the %s seem to be locked in. Thanks.

I know it well, but had no idea what it was called, or who drew it. One of these days I'll have to create a Napolean's-march SmartShape :) Cheers, - Chris Hey Dahveed,

See http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/minard</a>. The width of the trunks represents the number of soldiers (not mass, energy, or volume). Edward Tufte, master of graphical portrayal of information, discusses Minard's diagram in his 1983 book <i>The Visual Display of Quantitative Information<i> and sells small posters of Minard's diagram. Or, you used to get one if you took Tufte's class. (I am not affiliated with Tufte; just a fan of his work.) I have been making such diagrams by hand occasionally in PowerPoint and calling them "Napoleon charts" for lack of a better term since I took Tufte's class years ago.
